4chan, America, and Anime: Researchers Studied 160 Milliorn
Memes and Found Most of Them
Come From Two Websites

4chan, Gab, and Twitter reveals how memes spread.

Researchers at University College London developed a new way to
measure how memes are made and spread. What they found won't
surprise anyone who's peered into the darker parts of the internet in the
last few years: The most toxic, yet most effectively spread, memes are first
shared on two places, the subreddit r/the_donald and 4chan's "politically
incorrect" forum, called /pol/

CREATOR OF PEPE SUES
Mar 08 The creator of Pepe the Frog, Matt
Furie, is suing Infowars for copyright
infringement on a stylized poster being
sold on its website.
The creator of Pepe the Frog, Matt Furie, filed a lawsuit on Monday against the media company Infowars. The lawsuit alleges copyright infringement on a stylized poster sold on the Infowars website, depicting Pepe alongside other individuals idolized by the alt-right group, including Roger Stone, Milo Yiannopoulos, President Trump, Ann Coulter, and Alex Jones, who runs Infowars. The poster, which is priced at $29.95, includes the byline: “The establishment wants this taken down. Instead, celebrate the historic victory and frame this conversation starter in your home!” ___ Matt Furie’s civil complaint reads, “Furie did not authorize the use of Pepe image or character in this poster, and does not approve of the association of Pepe with Alex Jones or any of the other figures shown in this poster, or the ‘MAGA’ slogan.” In an online audio statement Jones called the lawsuit “frivolous.” ___ Photo: Infowars

Dank, Facts, and Internet: DON'T TREAD ON MEMES
(F) The great Meme-war of the 21st century:
Many millennials, including the admins of this page, have grown up with access to the Internet. The Internet is a game-changer for connecting and informing people. Over the years on this page we have shared memes that have reached 100,000's of people. With one meme/image you can convey facts instantaneously with others (AKA Meme Magic).
Recent attempts by the Democrats and Media Establishment to portray Pepe the Frog as a "racist hate-symbol" is a predictable response to what they consider a threat.
Any attempts to dismiss and ostracize memes will backfire completely. They fear the memes, and they fear the frog! Create and share memes, It really can make a difference!

Meme, Memes, and Oblige: In addition to documenting and curating Tumblr-specific memes, the blog regularly engages with its readers and
answers questions using the Ask function of the platform. As of July 2015, the blog is run by three researchers: Mod
Virgo, who writes most of the explanation posts and answers most of the question, Mod Fish, who occasionally
contributes to meme research, and Mod Sagittarius (a.k.a Mod Sag), a self-described expert of Pepe the Frog.
<p>None of us have an account on Know Your Meme, <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/meme-documentation">so could anyone edit the page about us</a>?
Although the description of Mod Virgo is correct, the roles of Mod Sag
and Mod Fish are switched. It is actually Mod Fish who is the
“self-described expert of Pepe the Frog”.</p><p><b>EDIT (17 Aug 2015)</b>:</p><p><a href="http://hawk222.tumblr.com/">hawk222</a> replied to your photo <a href="http://memedocumentation.tumblr.com/post/126897391010/none-of-us-have-an-account-on-know-your-meme-so">“None of us have an account on Know Your Meme, so could anyone edit the…”</a></p><blockquote>I have put in a request to have it changed.
